PRETZEL DOGS



Pretzel Dogs image

So good and better than the ones you get at the mall that cost $5 and were made four hours ago! These are a family favorite that even my pickiest eater goes back for seconds (and sometimes thirds!) We always make a big batch because these are just as good reheated the next day for 45 seconds in the microwave with some mustard! Yum!

Time 2h15m

Yield 20

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 (.25 ounce) packages active dry yeast
2 ½ teaspoons white sugar
2 cups warm water
2 cups warm milk
½ cup vegetable oil
1 ½ teaspoons salt
10 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 (16 ounce) packages hot dogs
¼ cup coarse kosher salt, or to taste

Steps:

  • Sprinkle the yeast and sugar over 2 cups of warm water in a small bowl. The water should be no more than 100 degrees F (40 degrees C). Let stand for 20 minutes until the yeast softens and begins to form a creamy foam.
  • Combine the yeast mixture with the warm milk, oil, and salt in a large mixing bowl; stir well to combine. Stir in half of the flour mixture until no dry spots remain. Stir in the remaining flour, 1 cup at a time, mixing well after each addition. The dough should be moderately stiff and slightly sticky. When the dough has pulled together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes.
  • Spray a large bowl with cooking spray, then place the dough in the bowl and turn to coat. Cover with plastic wrap or a light cloth and let rise in a warm place (80 to 95 degrees F (27 to 35 degrees C)) until doubled in volume, about 45 minutes.
  • After the dough has risen, fill a large pot with about 8 cups water, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and the baking soda and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. While the water is coming to a boil cut the the dough into 20 pieces, about the size of a golf ball. Roll each piece into a 12 inch long rope about 1 1/2 inches thick.
  • Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease 2 baking sheets.
  • Dip a strip of dough into the boiling water using a pair of tongs, count to 5, remove it from the water, and place it on a paper towel for a few seconds. Wrap the strip around a hot dog, place on a baking sheet, and sprinkle with coarse salt. Repeat with the remaining strips of dough and hot dogs.
  • Bake in a preheated oven until they are golden brown, about 15 to 20 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality hot dogs: The quality of your hot dogs will greatly impact the final product, so be sure to use high-quality, all-beef hot dogs.
  • Make sure the dough is at the right consistency: The dough should be soft and pliable, but not too sticky. If it's too sticky, add more flour. If it's too dry, add more water.
  • Don't overwork the dough: Overworking the dough will make it tough. Mix it just until the ingredients are well combined.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place: This will help the dough to develop flavor and become light and airy.
  • Boil the hot dogs before wrapping them in dough: This will help to prevent the hot dogs from splitting when they're baked.
  • Brush the pretzels with egg wash before baking: This will help them to brown and give them a shiny finish.
  • Bake the pretzels until they're golden brown: This will ensure that they're cooked through and have a crispy exterior.

Conclusion:

Pretzel dogs are a delicious and easy-to-make snack that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They're perfect for parties, picnics, or a quick lunch or dinner. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make your own delicious pretzel dogs at home. So what are you waiting for? Give them a try today!
